James Bradfield - Manic street Preachers.
Egotistical ignorant man.

Nice and not very nice celebrities who you have met (merged)
23 of 226
Walked past Peter Kay in a corridor. He said hello to me before I said hello. I thought that was nice seeing as he didnt know me. Personally I wouldnt say anything to a random stranger in a corridor, more out of shyness than rudeness though. Had Peter not said hello I dont think I would.

I've met him and he was lovely, very shy, but very lovely
(actually, the entire band was lovely, although this was in the days when Richey was still with them (
) so I suppose he may have changed since )

I was with my Mum and we took bouquets of flowers for Babs and for Maurice and his (then) wife Lulu.
We left the bouquets at the office, and after the show we asked if they could be taken to them both, and someone took them in. Beautiful Babs came out and hugged me, chatted for ages and took us both to Maurice's dressing room! He was absolutely fantastic, the friendliest guy I ever met. He gave me a huge hug, kissed me on the cheek, gave me an album of the show and signed it for me. I didn't want to leave and I was on cloud 9! I've adored him ever since and was gutted when he died.
Outside, I looked at the album and was horrified to notice that the ink had badly smudged. Barbara walked by just then and asked what was wrong, she took the album from me and ran around the dressing rooms to get all the major stars - and especially Maurice - to sign again. For that alone, I'll always love her. They both made a starstruck teenager extremely happy for a very long time.

Now THAT is a lovely celebrity story and it actually brought a lump to my throat
After reading bad things about Babs on here I was very pleased to read that

Absolute w@nker of a man.”

Doesn't surprise me at all about that odious man
Pity you didn't snap his head off - we might not have had to put up with him in the papers crawling around with Winehouse!! Well done for keeping your temper though in the face of adversity!

They're both alright.
Massa never speaks but he'll usually sign, albeit only a short version.
With Schumacher it depends on his mood, but he's not normally rude. Sometimes he'll talk a bit too.
I've only met Julie Walters at a book signing and she was absolutely wonderful. She waited until every book was signed, which took over 2 hours as opposed to her scheduled one, and was very chatty and friendly.
A lovely lady and an amazing talent.

he wasnt nice to my collegues when he came to do a show at our theatre during which time we had a 3 month run of chitty chitty bang bang on so he could only have a small amount of the stage space due the car taking a week to put together, but anyway he broke props, damaged scenery kicked the kids toys around and was generally rude to us all.
oi taboo get back in the mj forum,
lol

My OH and his mate were in the loo at a club many years back and he came in and used the urinal beside them. Our mate turned to say hello to him and accidently pee'd on his foot.
Stewart Lee (comedian) - Met him after a gig in Edinburgh. Really gracious and polite. They say you shouldn't meet your heroes, but he didn't disappoint.
Jesse Wallace - Was working in a supermarket while at Uni and she asked me where the Salad was. Seemed like a typical chavvy woman. She wasn't particularly rude, just not particularly polite.
Bob Mortimer - Didn't actually speak to him, just saw him walking around London. He looked like he had a really bad hangover.
A friend of mine works on the Harry Potter films. These were her comments on a few of them:
Daniel Radcliffe - Genuinely nice but nerdy.
Julie Walters - absolutely lovely.
Alan Rickman - An @rsehole!

I met Richard Herring a few years ago after a gig at Edinburgh too. Absolutely love RH.
I met Brian May a few weeks ago at my university graduation. Got to shake his hand on stage and then me and my friend went to find him after the ceremony to get our photos taken with him and have a chat. He was lovely and really interesting.

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest, stupid patronising ninny that he is.
Leo Sayer was very rude! He parked outside our house in Reading and when we smiled and tried to start a conversation as we were going down to the shops he ignored us and got in his car ...Leo 1 I think it was called and the most infuriating bit of it was the traffic warden dealt out tickets to us daily and this one who was parked illegally, didn't have naff all on his windscreen....the cheek of it!

I'm so gutted, Stevie Nicks is the most fab female vocalist I've heard since I was born, you are so lucky to meet her, I've only seen her on stage
Those who are gutted that their favourites are getting slated - don't fret, they're only human and have off days like everyone else. We're not all in the same mood every day.
Tim Roth , on a film set in the 80s - bit full of himself
Howard Devoto - We used the same launderette in Hackney ! - Was already a great fan of his Magazine stuff but didn't speak to him. Knew he had a bit of a reputation of being erm... "enigmatic" and while not rude seemed a little tense & didn't exactly invite small talk . He also returned some classical records to the public library I worked in & also phoned up to renew some.
He lived in a road not far from me - my brother and I played the occasional sport of "spotting the Devoto ".
Kenneth Williams -(Carry on films) Very pale face, walking down the road as if in a bit of a trance staring at the ground.
Siobhan Redmond Scottish Actress
Was sitting opposite me on a train once - and reading the Errol Flynn Autobiography "My Wicked Wicked Ways"
Julia Hills Actress from - then (Who Dares Wins comedy )
She was jogging , I moved to let her pass and she said "Thank you"
I also knew at Art college in the 80s , the first Mr Shakehands from Banzai) Ryozo Kohira.

I once bumped into Tim Booth of the Manchester band James, in Soho Square. I was/am a great fan and stopped him to tell him how much I loved the band, and he was absolutely charming! He asked me where I was going and I said I was just discovering the area. I had a small A-Z in my hand, so he took my book and wrote 'Getting lost in London, Love Tim X'.
Lovely man.
Lovely man.
